Speaking about NGK, director Selvaraghavan had recently said, “With Suriya sir, just like I am a fan of Kamal sir and Rajini sir, the little fanboy in me would create moments that his fans would enjoy. This does not mean my style would go but it just means that, there would be some space for the fanboy to extract the kind of Suriya that this fanboy likes to see on screen.”
